---------------------The SAC 220 project was born from the experience gained by the Spanish company IZAR with the design, development and manufacture of light aircraft projects CVL CVL Prince of Asturias and Chacri Naruebet for marine of Spain and Thailand respectively, launched IZAR a new project for an aircraft capable of carrying conventional aircraft.

This new type of aircraft carrier for fixed wing aircraft was designed for those who did not have marine vertical takeoff aircraft and therefore need platforms to run their conventional aircraft.

In the SAC 220 project development took into account the following basic considerations:-Increased military capabilities compared to CTOL aircraft VTOL

-Minimum operational cost compared with

--- VTOL aircraft cost more small aircraft

--- Cost of CTOL aircraft more light aircraft

Minimum dimensions of the vessel-support:

--- Number of aircraft aboard

--- Aircraft Types

--- Size of the flight deck

--- Ease of flight deck operations

--- Ship movements for day and night operations

--- Ammunition and fuel for at least 10 operations for each aircraft

--- Aircraft Maintenance

--- Capacity Command and Control and Communications

--- Self-defense capability

The basic objectives of the project were:- Consideration of an air arm of 25 aircraft

- Combined military and civilian standards for materials, equipment and construction Systems and equipment - common in the market

The project had the flexibility to accommodate both CODAG a propulsion system, a system COGAG, as were the final requirements of the customer. The installed capacity and the speed reached varied with the installed system.

Main characteristics of the aircraft carrier SAC 220:

LOA: 241.8 m

Length between perpendiculars: 222.8 m

Moulded breadth: 29.5 m

Depth to the flight deck: 22.5 m

Full load displacement: 25,500 to 27,000 t

Propulsion Type: CODAG or COGAG

Propulsion power: 57 to 66 MW

Maximum continuous speed: 25.5 to 26.5 knots 15 knots

Range: 7500 miles

Aircraft operations up to sea state 5

Operations of the ship to sea state 9

The vessel was presented to several marinas, both the Spanish navy, such as Argentina, China, India and others, the project does not transition from drawing board to not receive firm orders A representation of the project posted on the Naval Magazine Spanish sister site.

Bazan ideo a smaller version meets the needs of certain countries in an attempt to provide low-cost airline capacity.

SAC 200

Weight: up to 24000 tons

Dimensions: 221.8 x 28 mts

Aircraft: 24

Speed: 26 knots

Range: 7500 NM at 15 knots

Propulsion Type: CODAG / COGAG

Propulsion power: 57 MW

Aircraft operations until: sea state 5

Ship operation until: sea state 9

Export projects:

Between 1995 and 1996 Bazan Shipyard Navy offered to Argentina, as a proposed replacement for the ARA 25 de Mayo, two designs of low-cost carriers, which in the nomenclature of the Navy corresponds to "light carrier" or " support (up to about 30,000 tons), unlike the large "aircraft carrier in the fleet (over 50,000 tons), which do not require huge financial resources for their production, maintenance and operation.According to the ARA offered for the construction period was approximately the same five years, the first vessel, while the second was for three years.

Arresting cables SAC designs are greater than those in CdG, so it is sufficient to operate a Hawkeye and surely for an F-18 Hornet. The safety margins over the stern would be more critical then that in the Charles de Gaulle as the touch point for aircraft would be further back and near the stern. To avoid risk of accidents in the stern, more brake cables are needed. The BSAC a ship for sea control or a limited display of force as it was on May 25. This ship suffered many technical problems that probably would not BSAC. The ARA May 25 showed the limits of an aircraft carrier too small and has failed in the attack on the Invincible in the absence of sufficient wind on the platform, such that the Skyhawks could not be launched at full load of fuel and weapons. With two catapults of 75 meters as proposed by the SAC-220 SAC-200 the result of that attack would have been different. Precisely this kind of carrier can be stated that the cost of their life cycle is adequate to our needs and not exceed the corresponding two frigates. Also known as "Pocket Carriers" refer to vessels up to 30,000 tons, and whose cost of these vessels is around 350 to 400 million dollars at that time.

The SAC-200 related to the design of a ship of 24,000 tons displacement and 221 meters long and 24 aircraft on board and about $ 350 million cost, while the SAC-220 is designed for 30,000 tons displacement, 240 m in length and capable of shipping up to 30 aircraft, whose cost was about $ 400 million. Both offer 2 catapults 75 mts.

They were also offered to Brazil and China. In the case of the Chinese Navy could ship 21 Mig-29K with radar and sonar equipment to China, a possible weapons could be Type 88C 37mm cannon and two missile launchers SAM Crotale.
